New campaign is underway to safeguard wildlife in the Nadeea tenure.

Brian Falconer, Raincoast Conservation Conservation Guide Outfitter Coordninator, was interviewed on Global News and had a chance to speak to the importance of the new campaign to secure the Nadeea commercial hunting tenure.

“[The coastal grizzly hunting ban] is something that we’ve been waiting for for so many years and something the people of British of Columbia asked for, for a long time. We’re thrilled about it. But it’s not enough” – Brian Falconer

Raincoast’s in-house scientists, collaborating graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and professors make us unique among conservation groups. We work with First Nations, academic institutions, government, and other NGOs to build support and inform decisions that protect aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, and the wildlife that depend on them. We conduct ethically applied, process-oriented, and hypothesis-driven research that has immediate and relevant utility for conservation deliberations and the collective body of scientific knowledge.

We investigate to understand coastal species and processes. We inform by bringing science to decision-makers and communities. We inspire action to protect wildlife and wildlife habitats.
